AUBERGE ALTERNATIVE
Go there and contact
Good address well located for the small budgets and environmentally sensitive travellers who like to meet people.
A charming hostel in the heart of Montreal's historic district is a must! Divided into five shared rooms and four private rooms, as well as a common room with a fully equipped kitchen, it is ideal for making travel companions. Here, we favour local purchases, organic and natural products, recycling and composting, not to mention recycled furniture. Artists' residencies, vernissages and other cultural activities are offered on site, as well as a bicycle rental service (guided tours on request).

Chambre partagé, toilette et douche commune,
Bien que j'ai eu un peu de mal a me retrouver avec le code, on a su tout Bien gérer, vraiment il y a une très bonne ambiance et l'accueil était chaleureux, j'ai quand-même bien aimé ma première expérience dans une auberge jeunesse
Juste une petite suggestion pour ceux qui ne sont peut-être pas accoutumer au niveau du code( vu je l cherchais), pkoi ne pas l'écrire en rouge dans le cOurriel pour que ce soit plus voyant?
Encore merci beaucoup!!
1. Excellent location, in Old Montreal. 10 min walk to the ferry to the track. Great restaurants around the corner.
2. Room and facilities kept clean. A/C in room worked. Towels provided.
3. One of the 3 bathrooms on the floor was quite large and updated. bathrooms were cleaned daily
Areas for improvement
1. There was an odor in the room and especially at the shoe rack- expected but maybe some odor absorbers would help.
2. No hooks for towels in the bathrooms.
Negative
1. Rude and judgy staff. I brought slippers to change from my shoes as recommended in the email from the hostel. One afternoon after returning from the Grand Prix I took off my shoes and put on the slippers and walked to the kitchen area for a glass of water. On my way I was stopped by a staff member sitting at a table with others. She look at my slippers and proceeded to ask me what I was doing. I politely requested to get a glass of water to which she responded “You have a water bottle in your bag, why don’t you just drink that?” Then looked at my feet and said, “You can’t wear shoes in here.” It felt like she was going out of her way to single me out. Maybe I don’t look like a typical hostel person or maybe she was just having a bad day, but the tone she had was completely different than the many wonderful and courteous whom I met throughout the weekend. Other staff seem to look you up and down when you walk in and some guy was pretty grumpy all the time.
Overall we had another great experience in Montreal. We have stayed in various areas of the city and Old Montreal is by far the best area. Without this staff I would probably have rated the hostel 4-4.5
